About this map

Ellamore and Midvale anchor a landscape defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork River, which serves as a natural boundary between Upshur, Barbour, and Randolph counties. This 2014 survey captures a mix of small hilltop settlements and valley communities connected by the Us-33 corridor. The geography is punctuated by significant local landmarks such as the Middle Fork River Trail Bridge and the uniquely named Burnt Bridge near Laurel Cr.

Genealogical interest is found in family-named locations and burial grounds like Mt Zion Cem and Durrett Cem, alongside the Ellamore School Spring. Small, historic place names such as Pumpkintown, Jimtown, and Gale appear throughout the creek-fed valleys, while the highlands are marked by features like Deen Knob and Chestnut Flats. The map reveals the intricate network of county routes and trails, including the Loop and Ball Rd, that navigate the complex drainage patterns of Laurel Run and Hanging Run.
